I bet the poll that showed more americans wanted Palin in office than Obama right now let's you sleep well at night.

BOO!

Hear that sound? We The People are coming and you can't stop us.
Link to said poll please. BTW, others may be as disenchanted with Obama as you are but for different less sinister reasons

President Obama has lied, backtracked or deferred so many of his decisions that he seems, in many ways, to be a continuation of George W. Bush.

Heh. Putting Repubs back in power is the political and economic equivalent of battered spouse syndrome. He beats her mercilessly until she ends up in the hospital. While she's there, he makes nice, brings flowers, promises it'll never happen again, and she believes him...

Wash, rinse, repeat until she comes to her senses or ends up dead.

In an Associated Press-GfK Poll this month, 60 percent disapprove of the job congressional Democrats are doing – yet 68 percent frown on how Republicans are performing. While 59 percent are unhappy with how Democrats are handling the economy, 64 percent are upset by the GOP’s work on the country’s top issue. About half have unfavorable views of each party.

Seems republicans are doing as bad or worse than democrats.

Really? Americans just have never really seemed to like her, fairly or not.

75% of Obama's problems are due to the economy which no other candidate would have been able to control either. IMO, the other 25% of his problems are due to his political mistake of getting to involved in the culture wars of the country. But I don't see how another nominee would have enabled Dems to win in November.
She annoyed me right off with hillarycare. If Bill had proposed something that would be one thing but she acted as the unelected co-president too often, something that was curiously overlooked.

Yet they prefer republicans by a margin of 2 to 1. Do you realize how huge that is? There is a tremendous amount of regret coming from Obama voters.

Just like last time, people are pissed off at the status quo. If there were a viable candidate who was neither Dem or GOP, the indy's (like me) would vote for him/her.

Basically, if you align yourself with either party, you are a tool.

Short memories. Wasn't it spidey who talked of 'the good times under GWB'?

People are in much worse shape and really do want the good times of bush. Look around the country and compare. They want those times back and polls prove this.

That's like saying people on sinking Titanic want those times back when they were still headed for the iceberg at full speed. Yeah, they weren't yet sinking then but heading into an iceberg wasn't exactly good for them.

Even though it was a cruel hoax at the time, false prosperity created by excessive private sector lending and federal deficits. We're paying for it today, regardless of who's sitting in the big chair.

Spidey's the victim in the hearts and flowers phase of an abusive relationship, somehow forgetting that the last time they got flowers they got the crap kicked out of them a few weeks later... He's yearning for a nice big bouquet from his favorite abusers.

The repubs' latest contract on america should convince any rational person that repubs haven't really changed in the slightest, that they'll do the same things again if allowed to return to power.

He's just trolling for crying out loud people. Its not even very good trolling.

Although it did let him use 2 very big words: "constitutional" and "conservatism"...
